Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving, from a content provider, content for processing; receiving, from the content provider, information identifying at least one of advertisements or promotional material to include with the content; processing, by a content processing system, the content into a plurality of different formats; inserting, by the content processing system, the at least one of advertisements or promotional material into the processed content; providing, by the content processing system, an indication to the content provider that the content has been processed; providing, to the content provider, a graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the GUI includes options to allow the content provider to provide at least one of: comments identifying changes to be made to the processed content, or an approval or disapproval of the processed content; and receiving, from the content provider and via the GUI, at least one of comments identifying changes to be made to the processed content, the approval of the processed content or the disapproval of the processed content.

2

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising: receiving, from the content provider and via the GUI, information indicating that at least some of the content is missing from the processed content.

3

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising: receiving, from the content provider and via the GUI, second information indicating that at least some of the advertisements or promotional material are not included in the processed content or need to be moved to a different portion of the processed content.

4

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , further comprising: automatically re-processing the content based on the received second information.

5

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the GUI includes drop down menus comprising selections for indicating at least one of changes to be made or problems with the processed content.

6

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising: identifying metadata associated with the received content; and determining whether the identified metadata conforms to a standardized metadata format associated with an entity processing the content.

7

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , further comprising: at least one of modifying the metadata or obtaining additional metadata to conform to the standardized metadata format, in response to determining that the identified metadata does not conform to the standardized metadata format.

8

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein the at least one of modifying the metadata or obtaining additional metadata comprises: obtaining additional metadata, and wherein the obtaining additional metadata comprises: using an entertainment identifier registry (EIDR) identifier to obtain the additional metadata, the method further comprising: inserting the additional metadata with the identified metadata.

9

9. A system, comprising: at least one processing device configured to: receive, from a content provider, content for processing, receive, from the content provider, information identifying at least one of advertisements or promotional material to include with the content, process the content into a plurality of different formats, insert the at least one of advertisements or promotional material into the processed content, provide an indication to the content provider that the content has been processed, provide, to the content provider, a graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the GUI presents options to allow the content provider to provide at least one of: comments identifying changes to be made to the processed content, an approval of the processed content or a disapproval of the processed content, receive, from the content provider and via the GUI, at least one of comments regarding the processed content, the approval of the processed content or the disapproval of the processed content.

10

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processing device is further configured to: receive, from the content provider and via the GUI, information indicating that at least some of the content is missing from the processed content.

11

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processing device is further configured to: receive, from the content provider, second information indicating that at least some of the advertisements or promotional material are not included in the processed content or need to be moved to a different portion of the processed content.

12

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processing device is further configured to: automatically re-process the content based on the received second information.

13

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the GUI includes drop down menus comprising selections for indicating at least one of changes to be made or problems with the processed content.

14

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processing device is further configured to: identify metadata associated with the received content; and determine whether the identified metadata conforms to a standardized metadata format associated with the system.

15

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one processing device is further configured to: at least one of modify the metadata or obtain additional metadata to conform to the standardized metadata format, in response to determining that the identified metadata does not conform to the standardized metadata format.

16

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the at least one of modifying the metadata or obtaining additional metadata comprises: obtaining additional metadata, and wherein when obtaining additional metadata, the at least one processing device is configured to: use an entertainment identifier registry (EIDR) identifier to obtain the additional metadata, and wherein the at least one processing device is further configured to: merge the additional metadata with the identified metadata.

17

17. A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving, from a content provider, content for processing; processing, by a content processing system, the content into a plurality of different formats; inserting, by the content processing system, at least one of advertisements or promotional material into the processed content; providing, by the content processing system, an indication to the content provider that the content has been processed; and providing, to the content provider, a graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the GUI includes options to allow the content provider to at least one of provide comments identifying changes to be made to the processed content, provide an approval of the processed content or provide a disapproval of the processed content.

18

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 17 , further comprising: receiving, from the content provider, comments identifying changes to be made to the processed content; and automatically re-processing the content based on the received comments.

19

19. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the GUI includes options to allow the content provider to: provide comments identifying changes to be made to the processed content, and provide the approval or disapproval of the processed content.

20

20. The computer-implemented method of claim 17 , wherein the GUI includes options to allow the content provider to: provide comments identifying changes to be made to the processed content, and provide the approval of the processed content or the disapproval of the processed content.
